Chemical Structure

Brivaracetam Impurity 159 CAS CATO-C4X-2007159 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Brivaracetam Impurity 159 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Brivaracetam Impurity 159 (CAS CATO-C4X-2007159), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H19NO4, MW 229.27 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Brivaracetam Impurity 159 (C11H19NO4) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 229.27 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
